In my practice, I make it a point to approach each client with curiosity, compassion, and a focus on their courage—reflecting the core values of KLS Collective. Curiosity allows me to see the unique aspects of each person’s journey and to ask thoughtful, open-ended questions that invite exploration. Likewise, compassion guides my approach to ensure that clients feel safe and understood, without fear of judgment. By emphasizing their moments of courage—whether it’s the bravery to show up for therapy, make difficult decisions, or face painful emotions—I help clients recognize their own strength and resilience. It’s about honoring the steps they take, no matter how small, as part of their growth and healing process.

As a human being, I lead with empathy, both in and outside of therapy. Additionally, it’s important to me that people feel seen, heard, and validated. In my personal life, I often turn to the values of kindness, authenticity, and patience. Because of this, I believe in showing up as my true self, embracing imperfections, and extending the same grace to others. Accordingly, these values remind me to stay grounded, keep learning, and maintain a sense of balance between my own well-being and the work I do as a therapist.
